Ballarat Highlands draw for State Championships 2024

The 2024 State Championships take place from Saturday, 13th to Sunday, 21st April, 2024 at Bendigo East Bowling Club with the Ballarat Highlands Bowls Region represented in all events.

The state championships bring together the best bowlers from all 16 Regions to battle for a host of State Titles on offer.

Region winners play off for State Titles, to then earn the chance to go on to represent Victoria at a National level at the Australian Championships & the Australian Champion of Champions events, just as Victoria’s Brenton Coad did last year after winning the state Champion of Champions Men’s Singles title at Bendigo.

Contested events include Singles, Pairs, Mixed Pairs, Triples and Fours, together with the prestigious Champion of Champions Singles.

The State Champions of Champion Singles winner can progress to a world title and the event also attracts Bowls Australia ranking points.

Matches will be livestreamed on Bowls Victoria’s Facebook page, YouTube channel and website.
